Overview

The AMT is a browser-based tool installed on the Streamer and used to display the settings and statistics

of the VOD Error Repair feature.

The Error Repair page provides a retransmission overview of the following:

• Incoming RTCP NACK requests

• Retransmission packets sent

• Verification that requested and sent repair packets match

The RTP Session page provides details on each RTP stream. You can use this information to verify that

the RTP session configuration is correct.

AMT is installed on every Streamer as part of the Release 2.5.2 software upgrade. There are some

additional steps that are required to complete the installation of AMT.

Step 1 Start a Telnet or SSH session to the Streamer, logging in as user root.

Step 2 Run the gen_cert.sh script to create the SSL certificate.

Step 3 Edit the rc.local file. Uncomment the following lines:
